Art therapy is a really cool modality to explore if you're maybe not sure about counselling in general, just about the talk therapy. Maybe look into some of the alternatives like music therapy or art therapy and see if that would be something that they'd be interested in.
Ever thought about using art to express emotions you can't put into words? In this episode of 'Keeping Ashland Healthy', David Ross sits down with Candace Ressler, an art therapist from Appleseed, to explore the transformative power of art therapy. Candace opens up about her journey into this unique field and how it has become a licensed discipline in Ohio. She emphasizes that art therapy isn't just for kids; adults can benefit immensely too.
Imagine painting away your stress or sculpting through your grief. Candace explains how this non-verbal form of expression can help people process their emotions in ways traditional therapy might not. The episode also touches on the potential for group art therapy sessions, which can foster a sense of community and shared healing. Candace even dreams of organizing an art show to showcase her clients' work, giving them a platform to express themselves and feel empowered.
Whether you're curious about new ways to support your mental health or looking for creative outlets for stress relief, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on healing and personal growth.
